Pillars of Prakrutic Farming
Prakrutic Farming stands on a foundation of ancient wisdom and regenerative principles. These core pillars guide farmers toward sustainable, chemical-free agriculture rooted in natural processes, biodiversity, and soil health.
1. Soil as a Living Ecosystem
The soil is treated as a living organism filled with billions of microbes that create nutrients naturally. The goal is to feed the soil, not the crop. Healthy soil equals healthy plants.
Key Practices
- Use of Jeevamrut to multiply beneficial microbes
- Mulching to retain moisture & build organic carbon
- Zero or minimal tillage to protect soil layers
2. Local, Cow-Based Inputs
Indigenous cows are central to Prakrutic Farming. Their dung and urine form the base for natural formulations that rejuvenate the soil and protect crops.
Why Cows?
- Cow dung improves soil structure and fertility
- Cow urine acts as a natural pest repellent and growth booster
- No external chemicals or purchased fertilizers are needed
3. Biodiversity & Crop Diversity
Prakrutic Farming encourages intercropping, mixed cropping, and agro-forestry, creating a stable and self-sustaining system that mimics nature.
Benefits
- Reduces pest outbreaks naturally
- Improves soil nutrient balance
- Creates resilience against climate stress
4. Natural Pest Management
Instead of harmful pesticides, Prakrutic Farming uses botanical extracts and herbal decoctions made from neem, garlic, chilies, and cow urine.
Core Principles
- Prevent rather than cure
- Use only natural, farm-made ingredients
- Protect beneficial insects and pollinators
5. Water Conservation & Climate Alignment
Farming operations follow natural rhythms — seasons, rainfall patterns, moon cycles, and soil temperature — reducing the need for artificial irrigation and improving long-term sustainability.
Practices Include
- Mulching to reduce water loss
- Direct sowing to decrease evaporation
- Rainwater harvesting and contour farming
6. Farmer Independence & Zero Debt
One of the strongest pillars of Prakrutic Farming is farmer empowerment. Without the need to buy fertilizers, pesticides, or expensive seeds, farmers remain debt-free and self-reliant.
Value for Farmers
- Minimal input cost (Zero Budget Farming)
- Freedom from chemical companies
- Ability to grow diverse, healthier crops
7. Alignment with Ayurveda & Sattvik Living
Prakrutic Farming produces ingredients that retain prana (life force), making them ideal for Ayurvedic food, medicine, and sattvik living.
Why It Matters
- Food becomes medicine
- Ingredients retain natural potency
- A lifestyle that supports mind-body balance
